SANA Food Innovation Business

22-24 February 2026

 

SANA Food is the exclusive B2B meeting point for the conscious, sustainable food sector, focused on the values of ethics, innovation and health.

The format connects buyers from the Horeca sector, specialised shops, delicatessens and restaurant-retail outlets with independent and innovative agri-food companies offering healthy and sustainable, organic, vegan, high-quality, PDO, PGI and TSG products.

SANA Food takes place simultaneously and in synergy with Slow Wine Fair, to give voice to a new conscious food culture. For buyers interested in expanding their offering, the two events offer a food and wine experience focused on quality, well-being, respect for the environment and people, as well as tastings, meetings and specialised training.
